GOING: N

LADBROKES PUNTER ASSIST PACE 1660m

Track: GOOD      

APPLIED (9) was challenged early and faded out as favourite last time but had some decent NSW form prior including a win at Newcastle last month. Draws on the back row but with even luck he is good enough to win a race of this calibre. LETHAL LOUIE (7) overcame a back line draw to get home by a narrow margin at his latest appearance, his second success from his last three starts at this circuit and distance. May need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position but is racing well. MERAKI (10) cops a second row draw in her first outing for a new yard but is a player off a last-start win at Bathurst. DRAGON (6) has won second-up before so can progress off the resuming second.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after being driven well back, behind Fact Finder at this track over 2138m in a NR 50 to 56 on April 11 at $8. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Its Electrifying at this track over 1660m in a NR 56 to 64 on April 22 at $71. Has claims.
